Our cute flat is right in the city centre! Just halfway Via del Saracino. You will be able to enjoy the city centre both during the day and at night without having the hassle of driving or having to renounce to an extra glass of eccellent wine! ;)
You can reach the flat by car only from 12 to 5 pm and from 8pm to 8.30 am and you can park the car only the time to download or unload it during these times. Anyway there are parking facilities in the surrounding area.
PARKING FACILITIES: parcheggio Cadorna (free from 8.30 pm to 8.30 am and Sunday -all day- except on the 1st Sunday of the month when the Antiques Fair is held). Parcheggio Cadorna is less than a 3-minute walk from the flat. There is free parking called Parcheggio Pietri a bit further (a 15-minute walk). We will help you find the best parking option the day of your arrival.
On the day of your arrival you will find a welcome pack, a city map and the house manual which contains some pieces of advice to spend the best time ever in lively Arezzo!
There is a washing machine at your disposal if you need to wash your clothes.
If you need a kid travel crib or a high chair do not hesitate to ask us!
We adore travelling, meeting new people and spending time with them! We have travelled quite a lot and we have decided to try to rent our nest, the house we lived in for 5 years and which is full of joy and wonderful memories! We now live just 200 metres far from our Nest as I couldn't live anywhere else but right in the lively Arezzo's city centre!

There are small food shops in the surrounding area and a market which sells local gorgeous food. There are a lot of restaurants nearby and everything is reachable on foot.
Perfect place during the Saracino Joust or the Antiques Fair!
The train station and bus station are a short walk from the house. There are some car parks which are not free during the day but they are at night.
Quiet place which allows people to rest after a long day!

We've had an amazing stay at Gaia's and Luca's place. It's right in the middle of the Centro Storico so whatever you wanna do - eat, drink, shop - it's in walking distance. Gaia and Luca even invited us to their place (which is even more amazing) and had dinner with us. They were very welcoming and kind. Even for other places around Arezzo, such as Montepulciano and Cortona, they had great tips for what to do and where to it. All in all: Their place is cosy, clean, central. It provides you with everything you need to have a beautiful time in and around Arezzo.

SebastianSeptember 2016

Gaia made our experience in Arezzo so fantastic. She was a wonderful host and did everything she could to make sure that we were comfortable! She checked up on us each day to make sure we had all we needed, and was very available when we were trying to communicate with her. As for the flat, it is the perfect space for a vacation in Arezzo. The beds were comfortable, the wifi was good, and it was very lovely and cool at night with the windows open. Gaia even taught us how to make coffee for the morning, and provided breakfast snacks for us. Overall, we LOVED our time in Arezzo due to Gaia's hospitality. We will definitely be staying with her again next time we decide to visit Arezzo. Thank you for everything!!!!

Absolutely loving bed this apartment in the historic part of Arezzo literally a 2 minute walk to the main square with nice restaurants, bars and shops. ! It has been beautifully decorated and has everything you need! It was also spotless! Wished we had stayed longer. Host left a lovely bottle of wine For us to enjoy as well as a brochure on a local restaurant called Cavour 42. We tried it and it was fantastic!!! Best meal we had in Italy. Thank you Fabio for your hospitality!

Fabios place was superb, great location to stay in the town of Arezzo, and such a beautiful space- all was amazing!

AnaNovember 2016

I cannot say enough good things about Fabio and Claudia's place. From the moment we arrived we left we felt that we were in our own home. The Loft is close to everything you want and need an Arezzo, as well as a train or car ride from any other destination in Tuscany. We walked into find the loft was exactly what the pictures showed done to the simplest of details. Everything was perfect there wasn't one thing out of place, congratulations Fabio and Claudia you've exceeded our expectations. Ciao until next time

LourdesNovember 2016

Lovely apartment in the perfect location. The flat was beautifully presented, extremely clean and very well equipped. Fabio and Sara left a very helpful note explaining the details of the flat as well as a great bottle of local wine to welcome us, needless to say we felt instantly at home in Arezzo. The flat has its own front door opening directly into a quiet side street and there are plenty of nice cafes, bars and restaurants within a few minutes walk. Having hired a car to tour Tuscany we were daunted a bit at first by the tight streets in Arezzo but parking 'rules' seem pretty relaxed and we were able to leave the car close to the flat without any issues. Overall the flat is an awesome place to stay, very homely and extremely well presented. Highly recommended!

JamesApril 2016

The loft apartment was indeed splendido, in every way! From the bed to the decor, kitchen, shower- head and water pressure, everything was excellent. A stunning apartment in a perfect location; quiet, easily accessed from the railway station, and right in the thick of the beautiful old town. Marco was very helpful at checkin and Sara was available to assist with any enquiries during our stay. Overall, a brilliant apartment in a great town! Being on the ground floor means easy (stairless) access, and the apartment is beautifully cool on a hot day. Would highly recommend, esp. if your stay coincides with the vibrant monthly antiques fair.

SueJune 2015

This is probably the most amazing apartment we have stayed at. Absolutely stunning the photos don't do it justice. Great location, nice and central. Fabio was great to deal with and fast with communication. We will definitely stay there again.

Andrea responded very quickly to our questions prior to our arrival. He also kindly popped round to say hi and give us some restaurant tips just after we arrived. A couple of days later he also kindly brought us a brand new teapot for our daily teas. Retrieving the key went very smoothly. The apartment is as beautiful as in the pictures and its location is perfect if you want to spend a couple of days exploring the lovely old town of Arezzo. If you're arriving by car, be sure to inform yourself about the driving restrictions in the old town and where to park. Andrea has all the details. It would also be easy to travel to Arezzo by train as the station is quite close to the apartment (about 15 minutes to walk with luggage and all the beautiful distractions on the way...). There are very many excellent restaurants in Arezzo (e.g. Ristorante La Pieve (URL HIDDEN) which is just round the corner). A veritable foodie's paradise! Thank you very much, Andrea!!! We had a great time!!!

MelanieApril 2016

This apartment is cool! It is a wonderful mix of medieval masonry construction and modern industrial design. Although it isn’t large the space is smartly utilized with a very efficient layout. My wife and I spent four days here and never once did we bump into each other. The apartment is quiet and welcoming and the bed is very comfortable. The bathroom is reasonably spacious with a very clever shower design. The location could not be better; a few steps from the Duomo to the north, a few steps from Piazza Grande to the south and less than a block to Corso Italia and all the wonderful restaurants, stores and bars along its route. Andrea is a wonderful host who provided us important information prior to check-in and great insight into the city of Arezzo upon our arrival. He was punctual and was readily available to resolve any problem either by phone or in person. We would highly recommend Loft No. 18 to anyone planning on visiting the lovely city of Arezzo.

Fantastic studio flat; small but perfectly formed. This is a really lovely space, with a fantastic shower and comfortable bed. You probably wouldn't do much cooking in the kitchen, but it was absolutely perfect for my short stay in Arezzo. I'd return in an instant.

We very much enjoyed our stay in this beautifully restored old smith workshop. The apartment has everything you need for a comfortable stay - there's even a coffee maker and a small table set to sit outside. There's no cell reception inside the apartment but it's really not a problem because you're connected as soon as you step outside to sit on the stoop. Try the restaurant La Pieve Vecchia for good food and a great view over the sunflower fields and Monterchi.

Helle and Dan July 2016

"Le stanze di Piero" is a beautiful space, very comfortable, cozy and full equipped. Filippo and his father are kind hosts. Monterchi is a little lovely borgo. Everything is perfect!

ManuelaJune 2016

This is a stylish and beautifully designed apartment; and makes a perfect base for a couple who wish to take some time to explore this lovely town.

RobertJune 2016

Nice stay.

IlianaAugust 2016

We loved the simplicity and central location. It would be great to have had an information booklet with hiking & fishing spots in the area. Phillipo was flexible & accommodating with our check in arrangements, later than what we had anticipated. A stunning spot !

LeanaJuly 2016

Its a wonderful location for exploring the region. We had a private car for our travel. The apartment itself is architecturally designed and there's been a lot of thought put into the simple and elegant interior design. The result is a beautiful apartment experience that's a joy to be in. A wonderful use of space and a great re-use of an old Blacksmith's workshop building. Bravo! Filippo and Guiseppe were great hosts (communications were good with both).

This is a perfect space for who love Tuscany, relax, nature and original places. The loft is cozy, bight and well funished: kitchen and garden. A perfect location to visit Florence and its sourroundings.

This is a perfect space for who love Tuscany and Florentine hills. The loft is cozy, very well furnished, bright and full of conforts.
If you like cooking there is a small kitchen. Wi fi is free. In summer is available a garden and barbecue with a view. Parking is close and free. This is a perfect space for who love nature and quiet places.
Sheets and towels, Wi-fi access, tv, kitchen, garden, terrace with barbecue, free parking. Laundry machine is not available but there is a public service very close.
We live beside the loft. We are completely available for any request or support during your stay.

The loft is sourrounded by trees, grapewines and hills. The location is perfect to visit Florence (around 15 km), but also the Chianti, Siena, Arezzo, and the northern Tuscany areas of Mugello and Casentino.
The best way to move the area is by car, anyway there is a useful public bus service (stop is at 100 mt) to Florence and Pontassieve train station. The train from Pontassieve takes around 20 minutes to reach Florence central station.

Great experience in Florece, awesome host and the perfect home. It is a very cozy apartment with a nice view to the hills. Very clean and looks exactly as in the pictures. Lorenzo replied all my questions very quick and was always asking if we needed anything. 100% recommended if you are looking for a relax and nice stay away from the city, i would definetly stay there again.

The loft has been designed and built by Ronald and it looks amazing. The location in the Tuscany hills is breathtaking as are the views from the shaded terrace. The loft is very spacious and has all the amenities you will need. Ronald and his family are very friendly, we were welcomed with Ronalds award-winning olive oil. Florence is circa 30 minutes away, and there are many supermarkets in the villages closer to the apartment. We would certainly recommend this loft and we hope to return one day.

Chi-YimAugust 2016

Ronald is a really good host. He is helpful and really easy to communicate with since he speaks many languages. He made us to feel comfortable. He was always around when we needed his help. He makes excellent olive oil! His place is cosy, clean and we really enjoyed our stay. The location is remote, surrounded by beautiful Tuscan hills where you can have your relaxing holiday. You can leave behind your everyday stress among the olive trees and the scent of the rosemary bushes. You can reach many attractions in half-one hour drive. If you'd rather meet real Tuscany than crowded touristic places Ronald and his place is the best choice!

Our home is a loft at the second floor of a X century watermill in the middle of Chianti, with two bedrooms, one in the attic and one int the tower. It is a carbon-free house, with solar panels (connected to the grid) and a heating system with wood, stored in the garden. It is served with bus, but a car is recommended. This is a private home where we live in most of the time. It has thus a cozy and friendly environment but it lacks of the comforts and services of tourist facilities.

Our home is a kind of loft: lot of space, but essentially two rooms, in the second floor. One double bedroom in the tower of the building, the couch in the living room and the attic. The main bedroom is in the loft above the living room, separated only with a library and a thin wall. the house works with solar power, but it is connected to the grid. The heating is with timber stove and timber is stored in the garden, downstairs.
You will have access to the whole house, without restrictions, nevertheless, I kindly ask you to always bear in mind that this is not a secondary house or a tourist B&B: this is our home that we rent when we are spending long periods abroad. You can park the car under the roof uphill, near the gate, but not under the roof in the parking area (but you can park it in the parking anywhere else).
As previously mentioned, we rent this house when we are away, thus, don't expect any direct help from house. You must be independent, although, I will always be available to interact with you by email or by phone, anytime of the day. Plus, my neighbors are always available to help you. As soon as you book, I'll send you a detailed "instruction manual" for the house, to help you in troubleshooting and get started with your staying.

We are like a big family with all of our neighbors. They are very kind and generous, just don't take advantage of them, please. But as long as you will be polite, they will be willing to help you (almost) anytime.
It is about 20 km away from Siena, on the road between Siena and Gaiole in Chianti (ss 408). You can also get here by Montevarchi, which is southern of Firenze, on the highway to Rome.
It is connected with Siena by bus, but there are 5 buses a day.
Important notes: I am not a professional tourist operator, nor this is a B&B, let alone an Hotel. This is our home that we rent when we are abroad. You are free to use and enjoy everything in the house, without restrictions, just take care. Sheets and towels are provided by us. One more thing: it works on solar power, it means that when it is sunny you have plenty of power available, but when it is dark or night you only have 3 kW (standard cup) and you must be care full to overloads (just don't use oven, hairdryer etc. in one time). Hot water is provided by an electric (high efficient, heat pump) boiler. It works well for 4 people (80 liters) and it constantly heat the water, it only takes few hours when it is empty.

Cozy place in a beautiful environment that has the great quality of making you feel at home. Some goats in the backyard, some chicken in the frontyard, being surrounded by nothing than forested hills and vast vineyards while remaining our of reach of any mobile connection really add up to feeling relieved from the everydayness of life. The place is well-equipped and doesn't miss a thing you could need on a trip. Despite its remoteness, Franco's place is only 25 minutes from Siena and places like San Gimignano, Volterra, Pienza and Montepulciano are all within the reasonable distance of about an hour driving. With other words, great for who wants to travel around, but wants to return to the quietness of country life at evening time. Franco himself was not there, but the communication went easy and smooth. Whatever you do, don't forget to ask Franco for some tips where to get your locally produced wine, oil and meat.

Place was as pictured, very quaint and rustic. Few issues with the wifi (had to use neighbours). Bathroom and shower were great!

JessicaJuly 2016

We had a fantastic week, can we come next year please? Franco's homely cozy large place is ideal for us, perfect for a quiet away from it all location, surrounded by beautiful nature. Extremely friendly and kind neighbour Luigi had been wonderfully helpful to us. We did not have a car relied totally on bicycles and buses. Franco has been great communicating from a distance. Highly recommended. Thank you Franco.

KimAugust 2016

Our second stay here, last time we dealt with Henrietta and this time Andrea. Andrea was the perfect host. He not only booked our taxi to a local winery, but also booked a hair appointment when asked to suggest a local salon. Top class service they just need to cut the hedge to enhance the view from the patio. Lovely pool and great views. Fantastic location to watch the sunset. Lovely a quiet - in fact one night we heard two owls hooting to each other. The apartment was not modern, but charming and very comfortable bed.

###Special Offer!!Take advantage and book now your stay in a hill just 5 km from the centre of Florence! The loft was completely refurbished, also with a new air conditioning (A/C) system (Coll and heat), and we are offering it at this launch price, even more affordable with special prices for the month of November! ###

If you want to visit Florence while staying in a picturesque and non touristic hills neighborhood, this place is perfect for you!
Elegant Studio Loft fully refurbished in early February 2016 with WiFi included.
Ground floor with private entrance. The loft has a new kitchen (with sink, fridge, electromagnetic stove top and Nespresso coffee machine), a bright lounge area with a modern black sofa, a desk and a closet, and a bedroom with king size bed (which can be divided in 2 single beds upon request at the time of reservation) and further open wardrobe. The bathroom has a new big shower.
The comfortable lounge space and the new kitchen make this loft ideal also for long stays.
The totally new air conditioning system will allow you to make the location cooler in the summer or warmer in the winter according with your preferences.
My family and I are available for any need. We were born in Florence and we've always been living here, and we can give you all the useful information about the city. Upon request, we are also available to take you to the loft from the train station or the airport at your arrival.
Moreover, I will be happy to suggest you itineraries and walks across the centre of Florence and around Settignano.

Located on a hillside northeast of Florence, Settignano is a picturesque neighborhood with spectacular views of the city, which has hosted many famous artists during the florentine Reinassance, such as Michelangelo Buonarroti.
While having kept the appearance of a little countryside village, Settignano is only 5 km away from the centre of Florence, easily accessible either by car or by bus n. 10 (20 minutes).
The stop of bus n. 10 is just 80m away from the loft, and the bus runs from 6am to 10pm. After that time, Settignano can be reached by taxi (approximately 15€ from the centre of Florence) or by car sharing services such as car2go (5€ from the centre).
In a strategic position between Florence and Fiesole, Settignano is at the same time very close to the centre of Florence and immersed in a beautiful countryside landscape, surrounded by rolling green hills, cypress-sided country streets and lots of green meadows. You will therefore be able to either visit the historic centre of Florence or making amazing itineraries across the fantastic landscape around Settignano, such as the historical garden of Villa Gamberaia.
Walking distance from the loft you will find all the services you need: 3 bars, 3 very good restaurants, post office, bank, supermarket, etc.
For longer stays, we can provide an optional weekly cleaning service (10€ per week).
In the bedroom there is a double bed. Should you prefer to have two single beds, please let us know before your arrival so that we can provide to turn the double bed in two single ones.

Stefano was a fantastic host. He made us feel very welcome and at home. My girlfriend, who lives in Florence, wanted to drop her bags off at the apartment before hand which Stefano was more than happy to let us do. however, he had a last minute reservation of the apartment before we were due to stay there, so he let my girlfriend leave her bags at his personal home. He then drove her bags to the apartment on the day we were due to arrive. As if this wasn't enough, Stefano met us at the bus stop (in the pouring rain) with an umbrella and got us settled in to the apartment and told us about a few local sights and restaurants. (The pizza place down the road was amazing- we went there 3 times!) The apartment itself is exactly as it looks in the pictures- clean, cosy and comfortable. It was so much better staying up in Settignano rather than the center of Florence as it was so much more tranquil away from all the tourism. It's only 25 minutes away on the number 10 bus and has fantastic views of Florence. I can't recommend Florence and Stefano's apartment enough. You won't be disappointed!

Stefano's apartment is very comfortable and well equipped with everything that you need for your vacation. Everything is like it's described in the site. It's located in very beautiful and quiet neighborhood, just 20 minutes from the center of Florence. It's the perfect place to relax and to feel the real charm of Italy. We spent amazing 5 days in lovely Florence!!! Stefano is a very friendly and good host and made us feel very welcome. We enjoyed very much our stay there and will strongly recommend to all our friends.

What a great stay in the your apartment.. At first it was a little daunting, as the door opened on the street, with cars flying by, in tiny roads, but we became accustomed to it. But the village was a typical scene that we have seen in films.. Getting to now a little of the local people, and there customs, and foods, was a delightful experience.. And of course Florence. It was an explosion of history, art, cultural visual pleasure. And to top all my dreams, was to sit in the same house of the great master Michelangelo..

Sara was very good with communication before our arrival. When we arrived she gave us a very thorough description of how the apartment worked. Everything was very organized and easy to understand. She even left us a bottle of wine, which was a nice touch!!!!!!

Sara is a very welcoming and thoughtful host!! I would love to stay at this place again and again. This stay was one of the best things we experienced in Florence...Thanks Sara and Michael..

The Loft hosted by Sara is a perfect place to stay in Firenze. It is in a convenient neighborhood with shops and markets far enough from the center to avoid tourist crowds. At the same time, it is only a 20 minute pleasant walk to most sites. Sara and her husband are very congenial and made a real effort to see that all was acceptable. The apartment has good wifi, all supplies for cooking, and they provide two essential items: coffee and olive oil! I heartily recommend the Loft for a pleasant stay in Firenze.

Sara and michael were great hosts! They gave us everything we needed. The apartment was in a very good location, a minute walk to the supermarket and 10 minutes to the city center! It was pretty hot at the time we were and there was no air conditionig but we were theyre first guests and they are going to put one so its a very good apartment!
